Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 306
Queta and Gerald walked in, dressed plainly.
The sight of them elicited disdainful scowls from many of the women in the restaurant.
“Isn’t that Queta Smith? She came here, to Surati?”
Next, a group of four or five girls and guys entered as well. As they walked past the table where Gerald and Queta
were seated, some of them stopped in their tracks to stare at Queta in surprise. A playful spark flitted through
those eyes.
“Linda…oh, hey, everybody…” Queta blushed as she greeted them, setting her food down and clutching her dress
nervously.
Linda was fetchingly made-up and wore a form-fitting little black dress that only barely covered her butt.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer female friends were clad in similarly risqué fashions, while the guys had piercings which announced their
considerable social statuses.
It should be fair to assume that these were Queta’s classmates.
They had such teacher training courses at Gerald’s university too. You get all sorts in there.
Some were rich brats who’d failed to qualify for other courses. Some were small-business entrepreneurs. Some
were regular working stiffs.
The rich brats attended classes mainly to pick up chicks.
The pretty young things there were hoping to find a sugar daddy.
The rest were like Queta—genuinely here to learn something.
“Hahaha… surely you can’t afford this place, Queta?” Linda hugged her shoulders, grinning at Queta with delight.
Clearly, putting Queta down like this made Linda feel like she really was somebody.
Particularly because when classes first began two days ago, one of the rich boys had raised the topic in class as to
who the prettiest girl among their classmates was.
At first, Linda had been all for it…but then, after the votes had been cast, the winner turned out to be Queta!
There had been joking invitations for her to come up front and present an acceptance speech for this honor, but
Queta had so far paid no attention to their jibes and their attempts to chat her up.
However, this only further antagonized the competitive Linda, who’d never once lost to anyone in terms of looks.
After all, wasn’t it said that the greatest cruelty to inflict upon a woman was to name another woman as being
more beautiful than her? Even if they admitted it out loud, it’s still such a heart-wrenching thing.
So it was for Linda, and to make matters worse, she’d lost to some penniless tramp!
“It’s my birthday today and I’m treating a friend to lunch!” Queta wasn’t oblivious to Linda’s enmity towards her, so
she only offered her a simple reply and no more.
“Good heavens, is this your treat? I’m guessing this guy’s your boyfriend, then?”
Another one of the girls joined in. “Ahahaha! Someone has to say it: the two of you are a perfect match! Look at
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhat you’re both wearing!”
“Quit sulking, you two. They’re only some steaks and fruit juice,” one of the guys with them pointed out, shaking his
head. “It’s our class beauty Queta’s birthday today, let her enjoy herself. Stop causing a scene!”
‘Class beauty’, he’d said. Linda couldn’t let that pass.
“But look, you guys! They’re only having the bare minimum here! Someone’s celebrating her birthday, but I bet
they can’t even afford a cake! Looking at the two of them, I’m guessing she had to spend all of her life savings just
to be in here! Gahahahaha!
“Well, I shan’t interrupt you any further. No wonder Queta’s neighbors were talking about how she never eats any
dinner—and that even for lunch, all she has is one bowl of plain rice. Here I thought she was just watching her
figure, but I guess she just doesn’t have much money for food!”
Having spoken her piece for the moment, Linda harrumphed, folded her arms, and stalked off.
“We’re going now. You’ll have no more trouble from us. After all, we’ll still have to accompany Finn to Miss Liara’s
birthday party afterwards. Isn’t that right, Finn?” Linda made a show of clinging to a young man’s arm and finally
left.
Having been humiliated like that, Queta bowed her head and kept silent. She didn’t eat another bite. A moment
later, Gerald saw hot tears winding their way down her cheeks.
